Read this section of the text:
Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.
Which words from the sentence give clues to the meaning of accomplished?
Maintain, skilled, graceful
Rarely, sharp, trace
Flapping, forked, simply
Graceful, entertaining, beautiful
Answer: The words from the sentence that give clues to the meaning of accomplished are "maintain, skilled, graceful".
Explanation: The word "accomplished" is an adjective used to refer to someone that is highly skilled in a specific activity, that is to say someone that has the ability to carry out an activity very well. In that way, "skilled", which is also an adjective, functions as a synonym of 'accomplished'. In that way, the use of "skilled" in this section of the text contributes to clarifying the meaning of "accomplished". Moreover, "maintain", which means to continue to have or do something, and "graceful", which makes reference to someone that has grace, also give clues to the meaning of "accomplished".

Read this excerpt from “After Blenheim” by Robert Southey. What is the rhyme scheme of the poem?
A. acbadd
B. abcbdd
C. abcdee
D. abcbdc
Final answer:
The likely rhyme scheme of Robert Southey's 'After Blenheim,' based on ballad structure, is ABCBDD; however, without the text of the excerpt, accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Explanation:
The rhyme scheme of the poem “After Blenheim” by Robert Southey is identified by examining the pattern of the end sounds of each line. The rhyme scheme represents a specific structure that follows the ballad tradition, which commonly uses the quatrains and ABCB rhyme. Here, lines two and four rhyme with each other, creating a pattern across the stanzas. When representing the rhyme pattern with letters, the given options can be considered, but based on our understanding of the ballad structure, the correct rhyme scheme is likely ABCBDD, as lines two, four, and five rhyme with each other and line six rhymes with itself, creating a couplet effect. However, without the specific text of the poem's excerpt, we cannot definitively confirm this, and an additional review of the text would be necessary to ensure accuracy.
which sentence is written correctly A. although the lasagna looked terrible, it tasted wonderful B. Pepper and I decided it was time to head home. C. Ever since I was a teenager, I have loved going to the theater. D.while Jonathan was napping, I finished doing the dishes
The correct sentence is option B, as it follows proper grammar rules and punctuation.
The correctly written sentence is option B: "Pepper and I decided it was time to head home." This sentence has a clear subject and predicate, proper use of pronouns, and correct verb tense. The structure flows logically, and it is grammatically correct with appropriate punctuation. Other options contain introductory phrases that should be followed by commas for clarity and proper sentence structure. For instance, "although the lasagna looked terrible," in option A should be followed by a comma, as it is an introductory dependent clause. Similarly, options C and D should also have commas after "Ever since I was a teenager," and "while Jonathan was napping," as they introduce independent clauses following them.
